When she had the First Dog, the sainted Keesha, she had a Toyota Corolla. Keesha was trained to ride in the back seat &#8212; always.<\/p>\n<p>Now she lives in Seattle and we mostly ride buses. But sometimes we get rides with Cathy&#8217;s friends and acquaintances. When I go along, I sit in the back seat and look out the window. That&#8217;s the appropriate place for a CUPPIE &#8211; a Canine Urban Princess. I deserve to be chauffeured around.<\/p>\n<p>When I first moved in with Cathy, I didn&#8217;t know much about cars. I sit on Cathy&#8217;s lap on buses, so I figured I&#8217;d do the same. We practiced with my Uncle Lance&#8217;s car, a Toyota Camry. Cathy held on to my leash so I wouldn&#8217;t leap through the window. As if! Why would I leave a soft comfy car to run in the traffic? But it makes her feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m a pro. I sit up straight or sleep on the back seat.\u00a0 Uncle Lance is especially grateful that I never, ever mess up the car. If I need to toss my cookies or do my business, I wait till we have arrived at our destination.<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t I? I want to be invited back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mom just came across this cool post on another blog, this one written by a human.
